"Mia's expressiveness is not directed towards any object in particular, but moves 'within' a fundamental emotion that characterizes her entire work. It works within the sentiment o f nature and within the feeling o f time... Mia's painting thus becomes a symbol of a deep and individual memory, and also a collective, environmental, archaic and recent remembrance that touches and moves the intimate fibres of being." Giorgio Segato (Critic and curator, Padova)
